Let’s take a break from the grind and romanticise our lives for an afternoon at Café Borrone — good coffee, patio seating, and actual human conversation.

Whether you’re a founder, engineer, designer, creative, student, or new to the Bay Area, this is a relaxed, low-pressure hang where you can meet smart people without the awkward “networking event” energy.

### 🌿 What this is

• A casual social meetup
• Coffee + conversation + community
• Friendly intros + easy group flow
